(MENAFN - Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The Federation for Arab Journalists (FAJ) condemned Saturday recent assassination and kidnapping crimes against Arab and non-Arab journalists, expressing sorrow for these atrocities that violate freedoms of expression and opinion, as well as freedom of the press.

FAJ called, in a press statement, all international institutions, particularly media and human rights, to condemn these crimes and bring their perpetrators to justice.

The federation, based in Cairo, also condemned the murder of U.S. journalist James Foley in Syria by members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL), noting that Foley was performing his duty in reporting facts on the Syrian crisis to the international public opinion.
